Dear Diary,

Mom always told me to give people a chance. But what do you do when you think those people shouldn't deserve a chance at all? Do you give them that chance, just so they can prove themselves or do you ignore them until they stop buggin you? Maybe it's because of their hair, the way they walk, the way they talk,

or maybe it's because of their family. Yeah, their family is just about right.

The next day, Jamie was wearing his black tinted avitars again with his grey hoodie. He let his blond hair hang infront of his face trying to cover it as much as possible. Lily told him about Kayla coming back to school. He knew it was good for her to do so – but his plan was to duck and cover.

If you were looking at Jamie right now, you wouldn't recognise him. He did a good job disguising himself in everyway possible. Lots of people have learned to ignore Jamie and the way he acted, they just talked about Nathan Smith's upcoming party.

Nathan Smith was Jamie's teamate and he told him that his dad use to be 'tight' with his in high-school. Nathan tried to be friends with Jamie like his dad but Jamie just ignored him. Tryhard, he thought. Nathan doesn't try anymore, not after that day.

"Don't touch me!" Jamie turned his head in the direction of the sudden angry voice. He immediantly recognised the girl and felt his chest tighten.

The brunette girl next to her pushed her against the lockers. "Maybe we should search her. Maybe physco-killer runs in the family." A group of girls started searching her bags and pockets, and as much as Jamie hated it he stepped it and took the belongings away from them.

"Go away, Jen." He muttered giving the girl back her bag and standing infront of her for protection. All the girls stood infront of Jamie to try and intimidate him.

Jennifer immediantly recognised Jamie when he spoke. "What's the matter Scott? You should be hating her more than us!" Jennifer said taking a step closer. Jamie tensed and took a deep breath.

"Just back off." He said softly, making sure his eyes wern't on hers.

The corner of her mouth twitched upwards. "Whatever. See you after school, physco." Jennifer said marching off, with her posse close behind copying how she walked. Jamie shook his head and began to walk off.

"Wait! Jamie." Jamie sighed and turned around, he didn't want to face this. "I'm really sorry about my brother..."

"It's not your fault, right?" Jamie shrugged. "I need to get to class."

"Class doesn't start for another 20 minutes."

"Right." Jamie started to walk off, but she pulled at his elbow.

"Jamie please – can you just hear me out?"

"I don't want your pity Vanessa. You don't have to say sorry for what your brother did."

"I'm not giving you my pity. I just want to be your friend." Jamie straightened. He hadn't talked properly to anyone since the day it all changed. Give her a chance one part of his brain said let the others eat her alive said the other. "Are you going to Nathan Smith's party?" Vanessa said confidently.

Jamie shrugged. "I don't plan to. I don't plan going anywhere."

"You should go," she said taking out a flyer out of her bag. "it's kind of like a memorial service thing. It's at the school, too. People did that when Jimmy Edward's did the same thing a long time ago... I don't know much about it anyway."

"Uncle Lucas told me about that." Jamie said suddenly glaring at the flyer. "He didn't like it. People wern't showing respect."

"Oh." Vanessa looked at the flyer glumly inbetween them. Jamie sighed.

"Alright, I'll think about it." He went to grab the flyer out of her hand, their fingers accidently brushing. Jamie felt an electric shock through his body and a sudden lurching in his stomach. He looked up to Vanessa who was holding on to her stomach suddenly, but smiling a little. He quickly took his hand away and put the flyer away in his bag. He shoved his hands in his pockets and pursed his lips together. "See you later?"

Vannesa grinned and nodded. "Sure thing." Jamie waved and turned his heels to leave. He had a smile on his face while walking, a smile anyone could notice. Jamie Scott smiling? They would think. He pulled off his avitars and shoved them in his bag and looked around the corridor. Everyone was staring at him. He shrugged it off and exited the room. How could a girl make him feel like this in the span of five minutes? He didn't want to feel like this. Not to Mathew Tyler's sister. He hid his smile with a frown immediantly.

"What was she doing with him?" Kayla asked angrily with her hand on her hip. "What was he doing with her? What the hell have I missed Lily?"

Lily shrugged. "More like what the hell have I missed. Jamie hasn't smiled like that since-" Lily paused, thinking of a word for the cruel day. "that day." Lily couldn't understand it. Mathew Tyler's sister? With Jamie? The same Mathew Tyler who killed her brother and his uncle? The same Mathew Tyler that killed his coach. And the same Vanessa Tyler? Vanessa Tyler and Jamie Scott. "It's probably nothing."

"But he smiled!" Kayla pouted. "If it has to be anyone, does it have to be her? Nathan will never hear of it you know."

"Kayla calm down, okay? It's not like their dating or anything."

"They might as well be. Did you see everyone in the room stop and stare at them?"

Lily sighed. "Yes." They sat down at a table and sat in silence.

Kayla couldn't explain it. Lily said he was breaking, he sure didn't seem like it. He didn't need a cousin if he was going to go around chatting up physco-killer's sisters. She didn't like it, but she wouldn't do anything about it. Because Jamie wasn't her life anymore. Not after what he did...

"Jamie!" Kayla screamed as Jamie lunged at Mathew. Although Mathew wasn't defenseless, because he packed a hard punch. He punched Jamie several times across the jawline and a few in the eye.

"How does it feel to be the one on the bottom!?" Mathew shouted questionally. Jamie grunted furiously and punched him – atleast he tried to. Mathew kept missing the shots, or blocked them with his own hands. "You should of known I wouldn't of come prepared."

He looked to the side as Kayla cried in Lucas' arms. He grew frustrated of not being able to do anything. Looking around his surroundings, he noticed the shiny weapon less than two feet away from him.

He kicked his way towards it and grabbed it in his hand. Holding it to Mathew's throat, it stopped the assult and they both stood to their feet cautiously. Jamie grinned.

"Looks like the cat caught the mouse."

Mathew shook his head. "And the cat is going to get some serious pay-back right about now."

Mathew lunged for the gun, and let the cool metal feel in his hands. He didn't care if Jamie shot him because his life was over anyway. Everything was over after this. They both fought in a intense struggle and both had their hands on the weapon.

Jamie, however had his fingers on the trigger.

"This was a bad idea, Lily." Kayla said not moving her mouth, and trying not to cry again. "Maybe I can just get home-schooled. Mum could afford it and she wouldn't mind and-"

"Kayla, stop. Your not getting homeschooled." Lily ordered her friend. Kayla just nodded and looked down at her hands.

"I still think this is a bad idea."

Jamie ran across the court letting the wind in his hair. Nathan shouted out various commands for Jamie to do. This is payback, he thought cooley. Just let him have his fun. He deserves it.

"Suicides – now!" Nathan shouted interupting a practise game. The whole team let out a groan but he stopped them. "Not the team, just Jamie." Everyone retreated silently and Jamie started the vicious run without any words. Maybe he was turning into his father, the arrogant. But he was also his mother, the warm-hearted. He wouldn't verbally/physically attack his father. Not today, anyway.

"Looks like the teacher's kid is finally getting his share in the bargain." Brandon whispered to Jamie before running off, joining the game again.

Atleast he is talking to me.
